			IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
				 for
       INNS Members and others who planned to submit papers to
	   the World Congress on Neural Networks (WCNN97).
				 From
  the Board of Governors of the International Neural Network Society


The INNS Board of Governors urges all INNS members and other potential
authors to speed up preparation of their technical papers to meet a
November 15, 1996, deadline (instead of the previously announced date
of January 15, 1997).

There will be only one major US neural network meeting in 1997:
Houston, June 9-12, 1997

The INNS Board of Governors took a positive and definite step toward
reinstituting the tradition of joint neural network meetings with the
IEEE.  Specifically, it was decided to replace the planned 1997 INNS
meeting in Boston by offering strong technical involvement in the
Houston meeting being planned by the IEEE, June 9-12, 1997.  The IEEE
has accepted the offer.  INNS will be listed as a Technical Co-Sponsor
of the meeting, and IEEE has invited the INNS Program Chair, Dan
Levine, to serve as a Program Co-Chair for their meeting.  The chairs
are working together to develop sessions and/or tracks to accommodate
certain addtional technical areas traditionally of interest to INNS
members.

A copy of the IEEE Call for Papers for the 1997 ICNN in Houston is
attached.  Please note that the paper submission deadline listed is
November 1, 1997.  Due to the shortness of time, IEEE is willing to
allow up to two weeks grace period for INNS members.  Thus, November
15th is to be seen as an "absolute" deadline. Additional information
can be found on the IEEE ICNN web site at:

http://www.mindspring.com/~pci-inc/ICNN97

We look forward to seeing all of you in Houston.

ICNN'97 TUTORIAL SUBMISSIONS
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ICNN 97 Tutorial Proposal Submission Guideline 

Tutorial proposals for 
1997 IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks (ICNN 97)
are solicited. The proposal should be prepared using the format described below.

Proposal Format
The proposal should contain the following information: 

Title and expected duration of the tutorial
Objective and expected benefit of the tutorial participants
Target audience and their required background
A one paragraph justification about the timing of the tutorial. 

A topic that is in its infancy or is too mature is not likely to be suitable.
Therefor, the timing of the proposed tutorial should be justified in terms of 
(1) the amount of interest in its subject area and 
(2) the current body of knowledge developed in the area.

An outline of the material to be covered by the tutorial.
Qualification and contact information
	 (including e-mail address and FAX number) of the instructor

Submission Information
 
The proposal should be submitted to the Tutorial Chair of ICNN 97 
at the following address by October 15, 1996 using 
postal mail or e-mail.
